In what the New York Times is calling
“a sweeping repudiation of the Arab Spring,” on Saturday an Egyptian court
overturned all charges against former President/dictator-in-chief Hosni
Mubarak, including charges of murder and corruption. This is the second legal
victory (and likely the last) for Mr. Mubarak, whose earlier conviction for the
murder of protestors in Egypt’s Arab Spring movement was successfully appealed.
His lawyer Farid al-Deeb claims that he could be released any day now, as he
has served three years in jail without a conviction already and is allegedly in
“poor health,” though arguably he is in better condition than the thousands of
civilians killed and injured in the 2011 protests.
